Having simply watched and observed the others in the class for quite a while, Daxton had effectively wasted quite some time. It was something of an improvement, though, depending on one's perspective. Oftentimes Daxton barely showed up for his classes, and the ones he did show up to, he had a habit of making Swift Exits. However, by staying in Potions, he had had a chance to observe the students who had tested their potions their potions, the results of which had been amusing if not entertaining.
Soon enough, he had decided it was a good idea that he had not brewed and tested his own potion; if it had been done efficiently, there would have been the awful issue of outgrowing his clothes. Granted, he already wore clothes that were too big, but he had no way of knowing just how tall he was likely to get, not without a point of reference. It could be a disaster.
Eventually, after observing for quite some time, Daxton had decided that - even with the opportunity to experiment with his potion - it was a better idea to do nothing. It had occurred to him that it would make more sense to save his ingredients and attempt the potion later on his own, rather than waste what he had already collected and spent time preparing, especially if Newton noticed anything untoward with the brewing process.
Carefully and quietly, Daxton started packing his potions equipment and ingredients away, taking pains to make sure he did not contaminate or lose any of what he had already prepared. He avoided looking in the professor's direction, lest it prompt the man to look back at him, and Daxton preferred to not have to attempt explaining his actions. In fact, Daxton realised if he could pack his things up quickly and discreetly enough, he might be able to slip out unnoticed. It was terribly tempting not to add more to his notes, as eavesdropping on Newton's interactions with other students had led to more note-worthy comments and ideas. |
